Tue, 28 May 2013 18:57:33 +0000http://www.mtdemocrat.com/?p=325437#comment-719725I was thrilled to see you stayed local! I have a long story about why I am back in El Dorado, but it boils down to being a God Send Path. I tried to email you thru the MD site but it wouldn’t deliver. So I sent it to Caroline with additional kudos to her for her developing success. I have many wonderful memories of days spent at your family’s home. I, to this day, consider Mary one of my truest friends from childhood. I asked Caroline to forward the message to you, I am sure you will enjoy it. Yes, they were good times…

I remember you well–you were one of my sister Mary’s best friends, but I didn’t know you’d heard our dad sing back in the day. I really appreciate your sharing this with me. They were good times…
